That last statement you highlighted isn't accurate at all. You're right. The arowanas they were caught with mean very little to the wild population. Which is why I don't get the law or see why it's so hard to change or make other people see the discrepency. It's a bit like me saying you can't have that certified farm bred cichlid because the wild numbers are low.. It is what it is I guess.

People risk doing a nickel in the pen for a g?!?!?
It's not risking the pen for 1k.. it's risking the pen for a beautiful fish..
No.The people transporting weren't keeping it.Their risks were purely monetary.cichlaguapote;1923259; said:It's not risking the pen for 1k.. it's risking the pen for a beautiful fish..
10 k or 1, you must get hit hard, because to have these fish, they KNOW you KNOW what you are doing!
Any second chance might be used for further smuggling, so I bet they got whacked hard!

Yeah but didn't they work out a payment of keeping two arowanas? I guess what I'm kinda saying it's it's not so much about 1k in monetary terms.. it's about getting ahold of a unattainable(in u.s.) fish.. He probably talked to a friend about running up, the friend wanted some and said "I'll pay for yours if you get me some".. lol
IDK.. lol
haha my friends smuggled asian arowana. he had a small baby one so he put in a mcdonalds cup and they jsut let him by the border xD
